Love these guys

The shorter one looks and sounds like he could be the father of that guy on Workaholics, which is a very, very good thing.

Hope they make it. I really need an alternative to ESPN.

For me, ESPN is becoming like MTV. When I was a kid, MTV was everything. Then they stopped playing videos and because the place for trashy reality shows. Haven't watched in years.

I used to watch ESPN all the time. I could watch SportsCenter over and over again. Now, I only tune in when a big game is on. Can't stand the current SportsCenter,  those annoying debate shows, or 95% of their "original" programming.

Occasionally, they're run a decent 30 for 30. Otherwise, no thanks.

Agree 100%

SportsCenter used to be a show containing highlights of games that happened. Now it's a show that guesses what will happen next and focuses primarily on a few specific stars and teams. Even the broadcasts leave a lot to be desired because far too often it feels like a commercial for other programming on the network.

Don't let us down, FS1!

ESPN got walloped in the quarterly numbers.  Came out today....absolutely walloped.  Down 32% for the quarter




Fox's entire strategy based on the meetings I went to is to be the anti-ESPN. Make sports fun again, not the "evil empire".  Will be very interesting to see if they can pull it off.

Exactly. I find myself tuning in only to read that scrolling bar on the bottom to find out the scores that I am looking for and then getting pissed when they cut to commercial before the score I want to see comes on.

It's an amazing opportunity.  I'll admit that I don't watch ESPN nearly as much as I used to, but I don't have the hatred that so many people do.  It's a really interesting market opportunity to have such a huge group of die hard fans that have such visceral negative feelings for the market leading competitor.  I'd love to see them do well and make ESPN sweat.

[GGGG]

It's not so much a hatred, it's just that it is so damn unwatchable.  The whole "create debate" feel to it, and the incessant pounding of the same topics over and over again....  I simply don't care that much about Dwight Howard and Tim Tebow.  Neither really are all that important...so stop shouting about them.

If FS1 can bring back the light-hearted, fun feel that ESPN had in the days of Patrick and Olbermann, I think it would be great!

[StillAWarrior]

Trust me...I know a lot of people where "hatred" is an apt description of their feelings.  It sounds like your view -- "unwatchable" -- is an awful lot like mine. 

[muhoops1]

The main problem with ESPN is their on air talent believes they are more entertaining than the actual highlights sports fans tune in to see.

John Buccigross quoting the Avett Bros. "Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in" EVERYTIME he mentioned the Garnett trade.  We get it John, you're cool.  

Aside from SVP the channel has become unwatchable.

I've always said that if you could find a way to monetize the hatred some people have of the Disney Co., you'd die richer man than Walt.

[PBRme]

I don't mind Walt he had talent, but the narcissistic metrosexuals like Cowherder, and Greenburg are too much

The Patrick and Olbermann schtick was great early on because it was spontaneous. Even the Berman crap that is so insufferable now was entertaining early on.  Then they started forcing the light hearted and funny stuff and it doesn't work that way.

[BubbaWilliams]

Maybe we'll get lucky and Chris Berman will come to FS1.I really enjoy it when the guy doing the game runs out of breath in the middle of a sentence.

[swoopem]

With the homerun derby coming up over/under 1,000 for Berman saying "back, back, back, back, back" in that stupid voice?

[tower912]

I still watch the previous night's sportcenter in bits and pieces as I start my morning, but as soon as they go to the live sportcenter, I am done.   My 6 year old loves the top 10 plays and watching with him makes them fun for me again.   Other than that, only if they have an event I want to watch.    Never any of their discussion shows.

He sounds like a clucking chicken.

[hairy worthen]

He sounds like a clucking chicken.

Surely someone at ESPN has to be smart enough to tell Berman to stop wearing black shoe polish on his head and stop the tired embarrassing act. You would think Berman himself would be smart enough to know he is embarrassing himself.

The NBC Sports Network.

The 8am live sportscenter is the worst show of television.

I'm serious.

[muwarrior69]

FS1 can do a dress rehearsal and cover the SCION DENTAL Milwaukee Pro-Am!

ESPN has lost a lot of talented people over the years with so many new "sports only" channels popping up. In response, ESPN has continued to grow but, with the talent pool dwindling, they're replacing national-TV talent with small-market-weekend-sports-anchor talent. Most of the SC anchors are absolutely brutal.

NBC SN & CBS SN has some great shows!
